 The output of a scan request lists each BSS/IBSS network found.
 Besides listing the name of the network, the `SSID`, the output also shows the `BSSID`, which is the MAC address of the access point.

-|Extended Service Set (ESS). Indicates that the station is part of an infrastructure network rather than an IBSS/ad-hoc network.

-|Short slot time. Indicates that the 802.11g network is using a short slot time because there are no legacy (802.11b) stations present.
